Introduction:
This is the final of two projects for the EDA course. Here, all of the skills in plotting and exploration are showcased. For my attempt, I have extended this project to include more work. Every plot will be generated using base and ggplot2, as a comparative exercise. I also do additional analysis on issues that pique my interests.
Code Structure, and Running the Code:
The project is structured as follows:
- ./Plots: All of the plot.R scripts will print base and ggplot2 graphics to this folder.
- ./exdata_data_NEI_data: This is the unzipped folder from the supplied NEI/SCC zip download.
- loader.R: This loads common libraries and the NEI/SCC data; the EDA and plot.R scripts call this.
- eda.R: I have included a separate Exploratory Data Analysis script. I explored the data before generating plots. In particular, Question 4 required extensive investigation.
- plotX.R: A set of files that filter the data and generate plots. They correspond to answering question X (below).
- README.md: You are reading this file right now.
